Flu Victim Ducks Not There, Menkes Ask Residents Wary

JAKARTA - There has been found infected people killed by bird flu virus or H5N1 virus. However, it has recently emerged that identified a new variant of H5N1 also able to cause death in people infected. The bird flu virus attacks the new clade of thousands of ducks in some parts of Indonesia, especially Java Health Minister (Menkes) Nafsiah Mboi, duck flu outbreak that has so far not attack humans. However, the Minister of Health reminded the public should remain wary and cautious so as not infected with the plague.

  "Thank God, until this morning have not been reported in humans infected. we are thankful for.

all districts / cities in Lampung province has an area of ​​endemic bird flu

Hundreds of animals ducks infected with bird flu

Wednesday, January 23, 2013 00:18 PM

Mesuji (ANTARA Sumatra) - Hundreds of ducks are bred native Java in Kampung Tanjung Kingdom Brabasan Sub District Mesuji positive bird flu making the district is now no longer an area free of bird flu.

"Based on the results of a rapid test on animals that died suddenly this afternoon, it was a positive ducks infected with bird flu. Accordingly, this is the first case of bird flu in the district Mesuji," said Head of Marine Fisheries and Livestock Mesuji, Sri Purwati, in Mesuji Tuesday.

With the discovery of bird flu cases in Mesuji then all districts / cities in Lampung province has an area of ​​endemic bird flu.

According to Sri, a quick test on duck made after dozens of reports of ducks at the farm died suddenly.

"There are 30 dead ducks and 25 head pain. Everything has been destroyed by fire," he said.

Based on information collected, duck seedlings were imported from Tegal, Central Java. In it there are at least 500 breeding ducks. Location duck farms is also adjacent to traditional markets and residential areas.

"We do not know the type of bird flu that attacked ducks here whether avian influenza virus sub-clade 2.3.2 or not, because the sample was sent to Bandarlampung and the results obtained Monday," he said.

According to him, it is already banned duck out Mesuji brought to the area, but the traffic is hard to control avian allowing poultry brought into the district Mesuji.

Relative Mesuji no longer a region free of bird flu, he said it will increase outreach to the local community to tackle the spread of the highly virulent disease.

"In addition, residents will also be encouraged to use a disinfectant to clean the cage and do not pet animals meliarkan. We will also ask vaccine for poultry," he said.

Cases of bird flu that attacked livestock in the district Mesuji also receive serious attention from the local government, because this is the first occurred in the Mesuji. Regarding it, Agus Salim Secretary Mesuji also down to the location of the farm was to facilitate the coordination of handling.

Meanwhile, some people expect the government carried out the extermination Mesuji the rest of the duck farm.

New Coronavirus-Like Virus Found In Bats

CP  |  By Helen BranswellPosted: 01/21/2013 4:05 am EST  |  Updated: 01/21/2013 11:08 am EST

TORONTO - Viruses closely related to the new coronavirus that emerged last year in the Middle East have been discovered in specimens from a number of species of bats found widely throughout Europe and beyond, a new study shows.

The work suggests bats common to Europe, Russia, parts of Asia and Africa and the Middle East may carry viruses that are very closely related to the new coronavirus, called EMC 2012.

The study will be published in the March issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.

The findings, while interesting, don't help to narrow down how a dozen or more people in three countries have been sickened by the new virus, or whether more have been infected but have escaped notice because their symptoms were mild.

The researchers said bats from the Arabian Peninsula should be tested to see if they carry similar viruses. But senior author Dr. Christian Drosten cautioned that because of the wide geographic distribution of these bats, it cannot be concluded that the bat virus that evolved into the new coronavirus did so in the Middle East.

"It could have come up in any other region where those bats are prevalent," said Drosten, a coronavirus expert and director of the Institute of Virology at the University of Bonn Medical Centre in Germany.

While it is believed the new virus came from bats, it's not known whether it moved directly from bats to people — through exposure to bat guano or urine, for instance — or whether some other animal or animals such as some form of livestock became infected and passed the virus on.

The SARS coronavirus, a cousin of EMC 2012, evolved from a bat virus that made its way into wild animals — civet cats and raccoon dogs — that are eaten as delicacies in China. "We don't know (yet) what the raccoon dog is for this virus, but there may be one," Drosten said.

He and colleagues had done previous research on bats in Ghana and in four countries in Europe — the Netherlands, Romania, Germany and Ukraine. As a result of that earlier work, they had stored fecal samples from nearly 5,000 bats. After EMC 2012 emerged, they tested the samples looking for coronaviruses.

They found previously unknown viruses related to the new coronavirus in nearly 25 per cent of Nycteris bats, and 15 per cent of Pipistrellus bats. The viruses from the latter were most closely related to EMC 2012. In one case, the genetic codes differed by less than two per cent.

Three of four Pipistrellus bat species tested positive for the similar coronaviruses, Drosten said. "The whole Old World region is full of different Pipistrellus species. And I wouldn't be surprised if all of them contain related viruses."

So if these bats commonly carry viruses similar to the new coronavirus and carry them throughout many parts of the world, why have infections only been seen in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan? And why now?

Do the cases — nine confirmed plus a similar number of probable cases — represent multiple introductions of virus from bats to people, like sparks from a fire? Or did the virus jump once and spread, mostly unseen, from person to person?

At present, those questions have no answers. But there are ways to find clues, particularly to the question of whether the virus made multiple jumps from its bat reservoir.

Generating genetic sequences from all the viruses that have infected humans — where virus has been isolated or virus fragments are available — would give scientists information to compare.

Each type of virus evolves at a particular rate. The speed is referred to as its molecular clock. Comparing genetic sequences from the first known cases to later cases should show if the human viruses have evolved from one another.

The first spotted case was a man from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia who died in June. But in November, a Cairo-based U.S. naval research laboratory confirmed that two people who died in Jordan in April 2012 had been infected with the new virus.

"We will never have a definite answer unless we find the source. But we will have very, very clear hints if we sequence more viruses," Drosten said. "The further apart in time, and in geography, those virus sequences are, the more we will learn."

Pakistan-Permanent Polio vaccination counters to be set up at all airports

Permanent vaccination counters to be set up at all airports

our correspondentTuesday, January 22, 2013

ISLAMABAD: The exportation of poliovirus from Pakistan’s Sukkur district to the Al Salam and Al Haggana areas of Cairo has prompted the government to advise the provincial as well as provincial administration to set up permanent vaccination counters inside international departure lounges of all airports across the country so that all eligible children traveling abroad are vaccinated against polio.

The decision has been taken as a preemptive measure to reduce the possibility of the spread of poliovirus beyond Pakistan’s borders. The Prime Minister’s Polio Monitoring and Coordination Cell, World Health Organization, Unicef and partners in Pakistan’s Polio Eradication Initiative have called for urgent pre-emptive measures against exportation of the polio virus after positive samples linked to Sukkur were discovered in Egypt. Two sewage samples collected from the Al Salam and Al Haggana areas of Cairo district bore resemblance to a strain discovered recently in sewage water tested in Sukkur.

The Prime Minister’s Polio Monitoring and Co-ordination Cell has already asked the Sindh government to improve its polio immunisation efforts to stop poliovirus transmission in the province on an emergency basis.

The Prime Minister’s Focal Person on Polio Eradication Shahnaz Wazir Ali has termed the importation of poliovirus as “a stark reminder of the risks associated with active poliovirus transmission in the country, and the need to make efforts to stop the transmission on urgent basis in Pakistan. Though the virus has not infected any child in Egypt and the country remains polio-free since 2004, the Egyptian Ministry of Health has ordered immediate vaccination of all children less than 5 years in localities near Cairo from where the virus of Pakistan origin was discovered. Dr Ahmed Omar of the Ministry of Health and Population in Egypt has stated that the Ministry will start a campaign to vaccinate children under-five against polio in Ezbet Hagana Peace and Kaliobeya in Cairo.

Recently, the Independent Monitoring Board had also recommended international travel restrictions for the three polio endemic countries under the International Health Regulations. “The assessment of the IMB reflects the global concern over Pakistan and other polio endemic countries; however, regarding travel restrictions, it is understandable that every polio-free country would like to maintain its polio-free status and may consider taking steps to avoid importation of the virus,” stated the Emergency Coordinator for Polio Eradication at the WHO, Dr Elias Durry.

Pakistan has taken major strides in 2012 with a 71 percent reduction in the number of polio cases, with all but 28 districts free of poliovirus transmission. The recent security-related incidents in parts of the country have exposed children to risk of contracting polio, a disease that causes permanent paralysis in young children. Polio virus type 3 has not been found in Pakistan since April 2012, whereas environmental samples have been found mostly negative for poliovirus except for a few sites in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh.

According to Unicef’s acting head of polio unit, Michael Coleman, it reinforces the urgent need of all caregivers across Pakistan to vaccinate children under five years of age against polio through the nearest health facility or through campaign vaccination teams. Pakistan reported 58 polio cases last year. No case has been reported so far in 2013.  http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-13-20434-Permanent-vaccination-counters-to-be-set-up-at-all-airports

Polio virus found in Egypt linked to Pakistan: officials

Tuesday, 22 January 2013 05:20

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani health officials Monday called for infants leaving the country to be issued polio vaccinations at airports after virus samples linked to Sukkur were discovered in Egypt.

Two sewage samples from Cairo were analysed and found to resemble a recently discovered strain in Sukkur, a joint statement by health officials, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF said.

"To reduce the possibility of spread of the polio virus beyond Pakistan's borders, the government's Monitoring and Coordination Cell is advising to set up permanent vaccination counters at the international departure lounges of all airports," it said.

The statement recommended that "all children under five years leaving the country are vaccinated against the polio virus."..

We to this day do not know what type of bird flu in Bali are the same as in Java,"

four districts in Bali Bird Flu Positive 

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

DENPASAR (AFP): Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Putu Sumantra said Bali Province, in the period December 2012 to the present has four counties on the island tested positive for the bird flu virus that attacks the ducks.

"The case of bird flu in ducks first note on December 26, 2012. Earliest found in Buleleng, then in Klungkung, Tabanan, and Bangli. Meanwhile Abiansemal case, Badung regency, still in the laboratory process," he said in Denpasar on Monday.

In Bangli, according to him, cases of bird flu found in chickens.Therefore, it has asked the public to immediately report to the officer if there are cases of death of ducks and chickens.

"We to this day do not know what type of bird flu in Bali are the same as in Java," he said.

What is clear, according to him, was 2400 ducks in the four districts were dead and 1,500 ducks being culled due to bird flu affected areas.

Related to the status of what Bali has included plague, according to him, has yet to gain information such as determination of the outbreak based on rule of law and later delivered by the Minister of Agriculture.

Similarly, the truth of the new variant of bird flu virus, it has not received an official report by Central Veterinary laboratory tests conducted in Bukittinggi.

"In principle, we have submitted to the Board in Bali to conduct vigilance because based on experience, that there are cases in Java, Bali also appeared. We also have coordinated with the police to tighten quarantine and entry of material from poultry," he said .

He added that the results of the meeting in the Director General of Livestock, poultry origin of every ingredient that goes into sua-tu area should receive PCR test.

"While Disnak county / city has also been asked to monitor our traffic inter poultry and spraying disinfectant on all potential sites. Biosecurity should do as much as possible," said Sumantra.

He said he had been coordinating with the Department of Health in order to improve the preparedness of bird flu viruses do not infect humans.

West Java

Meanwhile, the Animal Husbandry Department of West Java Province (Jabar) states, the number of ducks that died due to suspected flu illness in West Java reached 22 963 duck tail in the span of about a month, ie December 2012 to mid January 2013.

"As for the area or areas affected include ducks flu Bandung regency, Brass, Majelengka, Indramayu, and Garut," said Head of the Animal Husbandry Department of West Java Province Koesmayadi Tatang, in London on Monday.

He said, to the number of flu cases that occurred in the province of ducks Jabar since first appeared in December 2012 and is a total of 29 cases.

It recognizes that to date flu vaccine for ducks has not been found because the manufacture of vaccines are still in the process in the laboratory. Therefore, according to Koesmayadi, for the prevention of the spread of flu in West Java Province ducks still use bird flu vaccine (H5N1).

He added, related to a flood that occurred in the region of West Java, seems to be a problem on its own for the spread of flu ducks because they're taking food and drink in a way lolodok (for food and drink with a beak).

"While mucus coming from his mouth will spread the virus. Mucus that if carried water will spread the flu so we were worried it would spread to other ducks during the floods.'s What we need to anticipate, as in Khanewal district," he said.  http://www.suarakarya-online.com/news.html?id=319597

WHO warns Jakarta prevention of post-disaster infectious diseases
